Which dorms have you lived in? I lived in Mehling Hall my freshman year, Lund Family Hall my sophomore year and now I live in Kenna Hall as an RA (Resident Assistant).
What’s one thing you’ve liked about each dorm you’ve lived in?
- Mehling Hall: I lived on the 6thtfloor so I liked being higher up in a building. The rooms are also pretty big with lots of shelves.
- Lund Family Hall: I liked the laminate floors and the whole building was very new and shiny. They also had good events going on, like good food events.
- Kenna Hall: It is such a great community! There are really nice people and the beautiful, huge windows are amazing!

I have one of a sweet pea, one of a carrot and then another one of a lavender sprig.
Do you have a favorite tattoo?
Nope, I like them all equally but in different ways.
Any future plans for another tattoo?
Yes! I’m thinking of a blue bird or a robin on a branch. My grandma really likes birds and she’s a great lady. I might think of something little along the way, so we’ll see what the next one turns out to be.
